[Spits] Door mirrors and A post seals

[Doug Braun]

On my car, the edge of the window class goes sort of between the two seals.
This arrangement works well, helping to keep the glass from vibrating in and
out.

I replaced the longer seal about 15 years ago, and the shorter seal is
original (but getting a bit ratty).
